Jul 25, 2005 Updated: Jan 14, 2006Tap: copper amber with a surprising hoppineess to the aroma. Flavor has a faint hint of sweet caramel malt, and that’s it. Bottle from Gondor has no hop presence whatsoever. Just grainy sweet caramel malt, toasty/roasted notes and not much else.

Apr 25, 2005 Bottle: Translucent copper, thin off-white head, spotty lacing, with lively carbonation. Cereal/grain aroma, akin to pellet food. Subtle malt aroma. Pale malt flavor. Noticable grain/cereal. Average body & mouthfeel. Smooth finish, lingering malts. Decent, but a bit below average IMO. Thanks Matt D!

Jan 16, 2005 a copper reddish color w/ a thin soapy head.. the scent was of clean hopps.. the palate was nicly carbonated and fairly smooth. The flavor was of sweeter graperfuit/hopps, and a light touch of malts and something else I couldn’t pick out .. a pretty good weak IPA.

Nov 15, 2004 Updated: Nov 16, 2004This is a descent brew. It’s very smooth and even sweet, almost syrupy, dare I say. Has nice medium brown undertones when it first hits your tongue, but then it livens up to its amber ale status. Since it’s the Milwaukee Ale House’s best seller, you’d be doing a disservice by not trying it, but after you’ve had your preview, switch over to the Pull Chain brew. It’s very similar, just more malt and hops and less sweet.

Nov 2, 2004 On tap at the brewpub. Red amber out of the tap with almost no head. Sweet beer with an almost white sugar taste. It is billed as a "Scotch" ale, but I’m glad that RB has it as an amber. Nothing wrong with it but not much going on.
